Leorote

Ten years of marriage.
	Known since childhood.
	Yet, he felt he had never known her.
	What he saw was a loving and gentle wife. But what he heard about her from others had always been different.

	One said she married him for his money.
	One said she seduced a Prince behind his back.
	One said she spiked her sister and sent her to a man’s bed.
	One said she tortured the servants behind his back.
	One said…
	He had heard many such things but never believed anyone.

	Until one day, he saw how she scolded his brother, slapped his sister-in-law in the face, and pushed his nephew into the pool.
	He couldn’t take it anymore and asked for a divorce but she rejected to his face.
	Then he heard the news that she obtained the shares of their company and was about to overturn his brother’s position.

	“How did she turn into a scheming wife?” he asked, not really expecting any answers.

	But he got a chance. He woke up to the day he got married.

	He thought it was his chance to get rid of the woman from his life. He would save his brother and his family from his ‘wife’. He will get a divorce from her.
	But…
	Why couldn’t he get rid of this wife at all?
	Had she been so scheming all her life? Clearly not.

	In this life, he started seeing her life the way he had not seen before. From her perspective, she had shed tears without him knowing.

	He realized that he had been a bad husband all along.

	Suddenly his life changed from trying to divorce her to changing her ‘fate’.
	Who would win in this battle?
	Her fate of becoming a scheming woman? Or his determination and … love?

Awakening of the Scheming Wife

"I am sure I saw that bag on that day. You did not attend the banquet until you got that bag. You were waiting for your mom? Why?

"Also, why were you angry with your father?" Vernon could almost guess most of the details, but there were still some missing points, and he needed her answer to finish the puzzle.

Helena opened her mouth, but no words came out of her lips.

It is not that she doesn't want to answer him. But she just didn't know how to answer him. She couldn't form a proper sentence to explain the matter to him.

"Is it because of the issue on that day?" Vernon asked, almost understanding her expressions.

"Did your father blackmail you?" He asked again to confirm his doubts.

"Using your mother's ashes?" Vernon felt something struck in his throat when he asked this question.

Understand? No!
